I have a custom data set with a number of questions including a checkbox question called, "I would like a free magazine about X..." where contacts can choose between 0-5 options to request a free magazine about one or more of the five topics.

I would like to create a report that tells me how many contacts requested each type of magazine.

For example:
X - 4448
Y - 4069
Z - 4937
A - 6683
B - 4037

Currently, the only way I know how to get this data is by doing a search and selecting the appropriate check box for magazine x, y, z etc... Obviously this is somewhat tedious and not easily repeatable on demand.

Is there a way I can create a report for this out of the box, (without coding), or is coding required?

By the way, russmartin, you might be interested in this solution by darkchild for sorting by your custom fields - it at least would make it easier for you to visually see how many (roughly) people have selected certain options, if you sort by that field.
